ANOTHER NATIVE MASS MEETING.
Preparing for the Polls---Ventilating the
Issues.

Yesterday posters were seen around
town calling a mass meeting to be held
at D. m. at the Kaumakapili church,
to consider the nomination OF repre-
sentatives and the general political
issues of the day. At that hour large
gathering OF natives had assembled
!. Kanui was chairman.
The first to address the meeting was
a lawyer named Kane, z After stating
the reason why the call was made, he
invited attention to the great necessity
of the natives to nominate goodman
one who could carry their cause
through successfully. That was the
only way to preserve their rights and
get back that which they consider was
taken away from them. They must
elect the right men il they wished TO
have that which was Objectionable or
unjust changed Referring to the
Constitution he said, "You cannot
make a big coat that would set well on
America fit such a small object as Ha'
vail"
The chairman called for Mr., ]. O.
Garter, and there being no response
lMr. WIN. Halstead was asked to step
forward and address the meeting, bu
he was not to be found.
The next who addressed the meet
ing was Mr. A. X. Kalaukoa, wh'
spoke great deal but said very little
Following him came Mr. M
Poepoe, whose appearance was loudly
cheered. He opened with quoting
passage from Scott. During the pre-
ceding gentleman's address (Kalaukoa
he heard the remark that the ne'
Constitution placed within the preroga
tive Of the Legislature the right to Gus

ing book on Venice, where the form
of Government was similar to this
since the adoption Of the new Consti-
tuition. The results have been that the
rich have become all powerful, controll-
ing the Government, and the poorer
people were oppressed and almost
ridden. So will it be in this country il
there is not change. How many
natives are there receiving or earning

to make laws for the people, but to
look after the new Constitution and
keep it in good working order. He
thinks the same as a man who said to
him, "The new Constitution is like the
sole Of an old shoe that requires mend
ing
Mr. Henry Warehouse was next
called upon, being received with Loud
acclamations Of approval. He thought
it most proper for the natives to thus
assemble and give public expression to
their opinions on public matters. II
they thought they have not been treat
ed justly, they all had the ballot to re-
sort to. He was pleased to see the
natives meet showing that they would
hereafter do their own thinking. What
they should nominate is man who
would always consider the rights o.
HawaiIans and the good Of the coun

THE RAILROADS.

CHARLES CRoCKER, the Pacific Railroad
magnate. was examined by the Pacific Rail-
way Commission at New York Mr. Crocker's
memory proved very treacherous, and the
number of things he didn't know about the
affairs OF tho company was really astonish-
ing. The witness answered the questions
propounded him in very hippant way: said
he didn't know where iho books OF the Con-
tract and Finance Company were, and told the
Commissioners they "could bet their bottom
dollar" he had made all ho could out of the
Pacific railways. He said the Central Pacific
was now wholly unable TO pay its debts to the
Government aud thought it ought to be given
hundred or hundred and fifty years in
which to do So Altogether, the commission
got very little enlightenment or satisfaction
out Of Mr.. Charles Crocker
MAGNATE HUNTINGTON was before the Pa
cifc Railway Commission at New York
Wednesday, and in the course of his examin-
alton lost his memory and his temper too. He
insisted that none of tho large expenditures
charged IN the Central Pacific books to "legal
service" had been made for the purpose Of
corrupting Congressman, and paralyZed the
Commission by the statement that @he had
spent twenty-five of the best years of his life
in benefitng the public and the Government
and had received nothing but kicks and cuffs
in return

THE SOUTHERN STATES.

DoBLER & MUDGEs paper warehouse at
Baltimore was destroyed by fire, with loss
of about s60,000
Two MASKED men with drawn revolvers
mounted the cab of Texas & Pacific express
train as it pulled out of Benbrook Texas, a
small station twelve miles west OF Fort Worth
The engineer was ordered TO run the train a
few miles from Benbrook and compelled to
stop on nigh trestle. The engineer was
then made TO move the train again until the
express car was off the treste. Here two
other masked men boarded the train
and the fireman and engineer were
placed under guard A dozen shots were fred
into the express car, and the door was finally
opened by the messenger. One robber en-
tered and cleared out the safe, and then went
into the mail car. Every registered letter in
the car was secured by the robbers. The
work was done in ten minutes, and the engi-
neer was ordered to pull out The train was
the through express from San Francisco.
The booty taken is valued at $4,000 train
was robbed on the same trestle last June.
Guards were in the passenger coaches but
they were over the passengers. No attempt
was made to molest the passengers.
A HURRICANE which swept Matamoras,
Brownsville and the adjacent region of Texas,
was very disastrous in its results. A special
from Brownsville says:
Morning dawned on a scene Of desolation.
Water tlled the streets through which the
roaring north wind drove the rain like great
volleys of small shot. The fallen trees, ruins of
houses, and PROSTATE fences all half submerged
in water, rendered passage difficult and at
times dangerous. The duration OF the storm
may safely he calculated ut thirty.five hours.
The rainfall was very heavy, being 10. 40 inches.
The damage in the country, outside OF the two
cities, is incalculable Countless head of cat
tie and sheep have been lost, and the crops of
cotton, corn, and sugar cane are completely
prostrated and destroyed. One rancher on a
small place calculates his loss in cotton alone
at S20, 900 and many others equally heavy
losers The total of the losses will be far be-
yond s1,000000. In Brownsville the chief suf-
ferers were among the poor

tho Secretary Of the Interior was directed to
place upon the pension roll the names OF all
surviving officers and enlisted men, including
sailors, Marines militia, and volunteers, who
served In the late war Of the rebellion and
who were prisoners of war; II provides for
those confined in rebel prisons ninety days a

sion; and beyond that time full pension
Proof of having been a prisoner OF war

THE DYNAMITE GUN.
Secretary whitney Greatly Impressed with
the Value of the New Ship Destroyer.

Secretary whitney Greatly Impressed with
the Value of the New ship Destroyer.
SECRETARY WHITNEY is pleased with the re-
suit of the dynamite gun experiments.
Washington dispatch reports him as saying:
The experiment was most successful. See
ing is believing, and wished to see something
actually done. l had been incredulous, but
confess that was greatly impressed with the
power of the explosion. The vessel was lifted
up bodily and then went out of sight instantly.
the resistance of that target was evidently
no measure OF the power OF the projectile. 1t
demonstrates this: that they can lodge dynu-
mite in destructive quantities a mile and a
quarter off with considerable accuracy, and it
is a matter of detail merely to increase the
range Of the gun and the quantity OF the eXplo-
sive as to render ii capable Of destroying the
strongest iron-clads. 1t avoids the present con-
test between torpedoes and machine guns. The
method now employed for using high explosives
is in torpedoes. Torpedoes are met with ma
chine guns and steel MEETINGS placed about the
ships but this pneumatic gun is a new method
OF attack. Taking its range and the line OF
flight of the projectile it is difficult TO say how
il can be met For coast defense it seems to
me the most important arm yet invented. It's
usefulness on ships is yet To be established. but
its Importance generally in naval warfare as m
arm can not be oyerestimated
